Clio Review

Years ago, when Ken Oringer opened his snazzy leopard skin-lined hot spot in the tasteful boutique Eliot Hotel, the hordes were fighting over reservations. Things have quieted down since then, but the food hasn't. Luxury offerings including foie gras, Maine lobster, and Kobe sirloin share menu space with fail-safe crispy chicken and Scottish salmon. A magnet for romantics and foodies alike, the place continues to serve some of the city's most decadent and well-crafted meals. New: A 2012 face-lift promises to double the size of the bar and make things less formal and more relaxed.

    One of Boston's best and most unusually creative ultra-upscale restaurants. Splendid food and service. Reservations and dressing up are a must here.

    Rude service, being overcharged. The manager, Chris did not care at all. The worst service in my life in Boston.

    When some stupid politician started the Freedom fries, Clio was really a target in those days because they had a French maitre'D, but hopefully, it will pick up again. The food is wonderful.
